7MS #357: 7 Minutes of IT and Security Tips

Today I'm launching an ongoing series called 7MOIST. It stands for:

  • 7
  • Minutes
  • of
  • IT
  • and
  • Security
  • Tips

The wildest, craziest, nuttiest part of this series is that each episode will be 7 minutes long!

I know, I know! You're saying, "Wait a sec, bub, isn't that why this podcast is called 7 Minute Security in the first place?" And yes, you'd be right.

Basically, this is my way of going old school and getting back my podcast "roots" by delivering an episode before we had an intro jingle, interviews, sponsors, banter about hot cocoas or an outro song. Nothing but delicious content today friends, Enjoy!

Today's theme is:

Windows command line shortcuts and tips: Creative ways to play with cmd

Basically, you can do Windows Key + R then type cmd and Enter for quick access to command line.

But lets do some more fun stuff. Wanna open a command window from the desktop and launch a command in one swoop? Try this:

cmd /k

For example:

cmd /k ping 192.168.0.1

The cmd /k part opens a command window, and then ping 192.168.0.1 can be whatever command you also want to run on the fly.

And if you want to start programs and/or open files right from the command line, you can do that (in most cases) by just typing the program name, like:

notepad

Or, get really fancy and add a document name after the command. For example:

notepad meow.txt

If meow.txt doesn't exist, Notepad will simply ask you to create it!

Finding files faster

Call me crazy, but the Windows find/search feature sometimes doesn't find stuff that I know is there. So I still like using old school DOS commands for this. I might do something like:

cd \ dir /s *brian*.doc

The dir stands for directory, and the /s tells the system to search recursively.

See 7ms.us for the rest of today's show notes!

7MS #256: AlienVault Certified System Engineer - Part 2

So a few weeks ago I did an episode about the AlienVault Certified Security Engineer certification, and last Friday I took a stab at the test. I failed. It kicked my butt. Today I'm here to both rant about the unfairness of the test and offer you some study tips so you don't suffer a similar fate. P.S. - you should definitely check out this blog as it's one of the few valuable study guides I could find out there on the Interwebs.

7MS #255: PwnPro 101

I'm kicking the tires on the PwnPro which is an all-in-one wired, wireless and Bluetooth assessment and pentesting tool. Upon getting plugged into a network, it peers with a cloud portal and lets you assess and pentest from the comfort of your jammies back at your house! Oh, and did I mention it runs Kali on the back end? Delicious. Today's episode dives into some of what I've been learning about the PwnPro as I run it through its paces at work and warm it up for our first customer assessment...

7MS #254: Bash Bunny

7MS #254: Bash Bunny

I've been working with the Bash Bunny for the past few weeks in preparation for a presentation/demo I'm doing in a few weeks. Today I want to talk about what the Bunny is, the cool things it can do, and some of my favorite payloads. Also, I started thinking about what conversation topics spawn from a demo of the Bunny. Specifically, I want to know how people would defend against the Bunny using AD policies, peripheral controls, etc. Check out the Hak5 thread I started about this, as it has got some great ideas.
